Creating a logical switch or base switch
Before you can create a logical switch, you must enable Virtual Fabrics on at least one physical
chassis in your fabric.
Optionally, you can define the logical switch to be a base switch. Each chassis can have only one
base switch.
NOTE
The 8 Gbps Extension Switch does not support base switches.

2. Select the physical chassis from which you want to create a logical switch in the Chassis list.
You can display all logical switches from all chassis by selecting the Show Logical Switches

• A physical chassis in the Discovered Logical Switches node
• A NewFabric logical switch template in the Discovered Logical Switches node
• The Undiscovered Logical Switches node
If you select a logical switch template, the fabric-wide settings for the logical switch are
obtained from the settings in the template.
